Rocket

Rockets are the means by which players travel from world to world. They are the first objects the player builds in the game.

All rockets are modular, so any combination of nose-cone, cockpit, and engine can be used to form a rocket. The modular rocket parts can also be put on properties.
All rockets requires the use of a Launchpad to operate.

Players can obtain the Starskull Rocket modules by using a Skeleton Dragon to dig up bones. These bones can be brought to Brick Annex and given to Mardolf the Orange, who can use them to build the player a random skeleton rocket Nose Cone, Cockpit, or Engine.

Beta Information

In pre-alpha, rockets were only used to escape the Venture Explorer, and to travel between other worlds, special teleportation signs were used.[2] In addition, when players used their rockets to escape the Venture Explorer, they selected the modules they wanted to use in a window, then clicked a button to quick-build the rocket of their choice.[3] Even after the teleportation signs were swapped out for rocket launchpads, players continued to quickbuild their rockets before launching them.[4]
